11 After the MPS 350 is mounted to the truck, adjust the Impact Fence height using the
Turnbuckles. The gap should measure between 12 to 14 inches (305 mm to 355 mm). This
measurement is from the ground to the bottom edge of the Impact Fence. Remove and store
Jacks for later use. (See Figure 25.0, Operating Height)

12 Connect the Winch by routing a 1/0 cable from the truck battery to the back of the truck. (See
Appendix Drawing 7555) The use of a welding cable quick-disconnect will allow easy
connection and removal of the MPS 350 from the truck as required; which also allows for easy
routing of the cable.
Confirm operation of the Winch and Controls.
13 Push and hold the Controller Switch’s DOWN button while holding the 1” (25 mm) diameter Pin.
Un-spool the Winch Strap until it is long enough to attach to the Cross Frame. Remove the 1”
(25 mm) diameter Pin from the Winch Strap. Position the Winch Strap between the two Cross
Bar Tabs. Thread the 1” (25 mm) diameter Pin through the Cross Bar Tabs and the loop on the
end of the Winch Strap. Secure by inserting the Cotter Pin into the hole in the 1” (25 mm)
diameter Pin and flaring out the ends of the cotter pin. A Cotter Pin is supplied in the Shipped-
Loose parts bag.
